Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this grounded episode of Sage Against the Machine, Joe reconnects with longtime friend and AlphaKOR president Frank Abbruzzese. What begins as a chat about Frank’s new book, Building Legacies, turns into a reflective journey across decades of leadership, humility, and human connection. Frank shares how a childhood on a roadside fruit stand shaped his views on service, how over a decade of blogging pushed him out of his comfort zone, and why letting go is one of the greatest acts of trust a leader can make. Packed with personal stories, lessons on communication, and a peek into the community he’s built with Wednesday Wisdom, this episode is a masterclass in leading with intention... and heart.
